Q1 What sequence do you get when you start to add the counting number up? Can you
give a small pictorial explanation?
Q2 If you start with the number 2 and keep adding 2,what sequence are you creating?
Q3 Identify the pattern for the following sequence and find the next number.
Q5Patterns can become more intricate as we explore them further. In mathematics, patterns can
follow multiple rules, combining arithmetic, geometric, and even shape-based changes.
Recognizing patterns requires careful observation and analysis of the relationship between the
numbers, objects, or shapes.For example, consider the number pattern:
2, 5, 10, 17, 26, … Here, the difference between consecutive numbers is increasing. To get
from 2 to 5, we add 3. To get from 5 to 10, we add 5. To get from 10 to 17, we add 7, and so on. This
is an example of a pattern where the differences between numbers increase by a constant
amount.
(i) In the pattern 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, __, __, find the next two numbers in the sequence. Explain the
rule.
(ii) A pattern starts with 1 and follows this rule: multiply the number by 2, then subtract 1 to get
the next number. Write the first five numbers of the sequence.
(iii) Identify the next two shapes in the following pattern: ○, △, □, ○○, △△, □□, ○○○, __, __.
(iv) Find the missing numbers in the pattern: 3, 9, 18, __, 45, 63. Identify the rule.
